Local Disgrace

I acknowledge it`s a tricky thing to balance and there`s never a single, easy answer.

But I`m old-fashioned enough that I hold police to a higher standard.

Hmmm, thats a pretty tricky thing to pass judgement on.  Wouldnt they be able to claim they were attending during their break time?  Of course they would also have to claim they "just happened to be in the area"...

What's of greater concern is the attempted intimidation of the judge and proescutor:

Hopefully there will be disciplinary action taken against those ten.  Completely inappropriate for them to attend as spectators in uniform.

Sorry Dave. You obviously know nothing of our Judges, JPs and Prosecutors down here. Intimidated? Not on YOUR best day.

There are always uniformed LEO waiting around for other court cases. The police station is also right across the street, a one minute walk. There is also no requirement for anyone to change in order to observe due process of our legal system.

I love the way we always expound the bias of the press, until it backs up our own bias, then they have published the absolute unadorned truth and we will quote them as gospel.
